Beauty and the Bug has a new entry up (well, a bunch of them, actually), but I thought since this one focuses on the Buffistas (without naming them...gotta keep the family away!), I'd share.

On Always Having a Place to Stay

Poke around the site too. There are some new project pictures up and a new Valentine's Day header (I do love my Deena!), plus three trip-inspired blog entries that were posted while I was in St. Thomas.

Enjoy!

Hear ye, hear ye!

We have three cities officially in the running for this year's Midwest F2F: Madison, Minneapolis, and Houston. (Detroit/Ann Arbor may also be added soon). This is your last chance to declare yourself point person and pimp another city. Any takers? We've had the discussion up for a couple of weeks, so we're planning to vote for city tonight.

Come to the F2F thread for discussion/additional pimpage.

Shameless self-pimpage:

Am about finished with a big navigation redesign at travelswithchild.org and would love any feedback

thanks to a brilliant suggestion by Raq, we now have drop-down by-region and by-age categories. Plus a bunch more - book reviews, a monthly post about places to visit... your suggestions for topics are more than welcome!

And I ordered a bunch of moo cards... swag may be coming soon -

t goes back to real job. looks back longingly.

I just figured out I haven't been getting confirmation emails from paypal, so THANKS, y'all, and I'm sorry if I don't get individual emails to everyone.

We're about ready to vote on a city for F2F 2008! If you would like to add information about a city, ask questions, or do something else I've forgotten, join us in F2F.
